"I am but a simple purveyor of words. A story teller one might say. For the right number of coins, I shall create you a world of your very own, where you will be hailed as its hero, its ruler….its god. Cross me, however, and you shall be cast down as its villain, the lowest of creatures. Your final fate will be most befitting…and unfortunate." - Michael L. Turner

Steve Jobs - Movie - 2015 - Review

What can
I say about the movie, “Steve Jobs.”
Well…. Have you ever heard that old motherly expression, “If you can’t
say anything nice then don’t say anything at all.” Well… my Mom… She may not have watched this
movie. That being said, my mother is a
very good woman who prays for me every Sunday and six more days too. To honor her, I’ll give the movie this…. For
what little they had to work with, the talent of the actors and actresses will
continue to get them more work in the future when most have forgotten about this movie.

Now, nice
time is over. Let’s say that you are
given a choice between going to see this movie, or using a power drill on your own
skull… Just choose the power drill. It will
be less painful

What
more can I say than that? Well… I’m
guessing you’re not one to trust so easily. So, let’s take this a bit further and be done with it.

Steve
Jobs plays out on the backstage of every Apple product release show from 1984’s
Mac, to somewhere beyond the iMac Gummi computer. There is no inspirational story, only a
fleeting few flashbacks to fill in the blanks of a two hour argument, with
various people Steve had wronged. The
conclusion of each comes with either the witty comment by Jobs saying, “Go f***
yourself,” or “I will get you some money.”

If you
go to see this movie then expect a long elevator ride with Sheldon Cooper (The
Big Bang Theory) listening to nothing you say, but constantly explaining why
you are wrong.

I sat in that theater last night, and when it finally ended and the credits were done. The screen turned dark and the lights came up and with a blank stare of disbelief, I said to the emptied theater, “What the frak, was that?”
